Help me move Gore, AKA Mr. Irrelevant
Posted on 10/21/14 at 2:14 pm

My team:
QB Cam, Kaep
RB Lacy, Gore, Mathews, Pierre, Bolden, White
WR Benjamin, Michael Floyd, Torrey, Colston
TE Gates
Def Philly, Arizona
K Tucker
I'm 2-5 so I'm trying a bunch of weird shite. But I need to move Gore because its his bye and Pierre got hurt. Telling me my team is shite and I'm fricked are 2 things I already know. Gimme some suggestions for trading Gore away and getting a RB in return.
12-team, standard scoring.

How many teams are in your league?
What is the scoring format?
Which "Floyd" is that?

Do you think you could get Hillman for him?

Man oh man... It's going to be tough. Are there any teams without good QBs? Trade one of those guys away. Lacy seems to be your biggest "name" and he's been very hit or miss so it might be hard to move him. Torrey's had two good weeks in a row~
Maybe Gore and Kaep to a person weak at QB/RB for a good WR?
Torrey and Mathews to the Oliver owner for a better RB2?
*Also pick up Tannehill

See what the cost of Hillman is.
Maybe go for Sankey.
Gamble on lottery ticket players and try and hit big.
Bryce Brown makes the most sense for you on waivers.

Bryce Brown was drafted and has been on a guy's roster since day 1 
. He's been holding onto him as a keeper. The hillman owner hates Gore but I'll see.
FWIW, Mason is already owned as well.

Its cool.
Since you are 2-5 you need to take risks on players without big-time name recognition. You also need to value short-term value more than you would like to. You need to be willing to take risks and potentially lose trades, and lose guys who have been doing well for you.
Since I don't know every team in your league, I can't tell you exact trade combos, but I'd target guys like Hillman and Darren Oliver (especially since you have Mathews) who you can still get relatively cheap and who I think are going to keep performing at a very high level in the short run. They also both could have underrated long-term value, though it isn't guaranteed. But I think you need to take a risk and hope it pays off since you are 2-5. Hillman and Oliver are both guys that you could likely get in addition to a decent receiver w/ potential straight up for Gore.
Benjamin is a guy I'd hold on to. Newton is finally healthy and he's a guy who could possibly be a top 10 receiver but he won't be valued as such.
Gates is good, but his value can't get any higher. As much as you probably don't want to lose those guys, that's what you need to be looking out for. Watch out for Vernon Davis at TE. You can probably buy him at about as low of a value as you ever will be able to and we all know he can be an elite TD. He's the type of player worth taking a risk on.
I also like Andre Johnson right now. He always tears it up in the 2nd half and his value is pretty fricking low. As an Andre owner in one league, I can assure you I'm very frustrated by him. So is whoever owns him in your league.
I'd try and combo Gates/Gore for Vernon Davis and a solid improvement at RB. Depending on how much of an improvement, you might be able to get another buy low receiver or something.

It's possible. I worked out a trade for Gore this week that I'm happy with.
Gore/Stafford/Edelman for B Marshall/Hopkins/Alex Smith
I have Brady as my QB1 and plenty of waiver options if something happens to him. Once Calvin is back, my WRs will be stacked.

See if anyone will bite on Colston or Benjamin along with Gore.
